Pebinor From the Past
Bella's boyfriend

Bella can now go back to her house. It has been eight days since my mother's death. Bella and her dad haven't had time to talk about the start of the incident.

Distant brothers who arrived decided to stay overnight, so they could not speak freely. Bella said Leo was out of town and could not go home when some people asked for his presence.

The brothers and neighbors certainly sneered at the actions of Leo and his family. But Bella herself considers if it's the right reason. He himself did not want to talk about his broken marriage.

This morning, Mr. Bisri's last guest was seen riding in the car. The two waved while putting on a smile to take off Brother from Mr. Bisri. After the car really went, with Bella warmly in the hoe and then in the sleigh went inside.

"Do you want to tell me now?" Bella said as they sat in the living room. All this time he had refrained from asking.

"Your mom misses. He said he felt bad for a few days. While you haven't visited for a few months. That's why he forced a visit and em it, Lisa who welcomed us. It's not Leo's son, it's Lisa." Reply Mr. Bisri explained.

Bella's heart rumbled. She hated Lisa and hated her even more.

"Bella didn't cheat on Dad. Leo misunderstood and made it all this way." The father looked at Bella with a sliced heart. The only child turned unkempt as a result of being abandoned.

"Wrong or not. You're still Dad's son and that man should have taken you home instead of taking responsibility."

Which heart of Father can accept. Children who have been cared for since childhood with affection, now not recognized because of physical changes.

"Mas Leo has intended to drive home."

"Don't defend him anymore, son. I'm in a lot of heartache." Patting his chest." So he accused you of cheating?" Imbuh Pak Bisri wants to know.

Bella told me everything that happened to her. He no longer wanted to cover up and make his father feel worried.

"You stay here. Dad still has the power to fund your life. Your mother is no more. You can work as a carpenter like you used to." Mr. Bisri had to stop working to take care of his wife. That's why Bella was made the backbone of the family.

"No Well. Bella's gonna work."

Bella remembers Nathan's name. The man did not reveal his nose. A little upset because actually Bella did not really forbid him to come.

Maybe the man has forgotten his promise. Ah of course. What can be expected. Everything you say is just seduction. It could be that he has now returned to being a jerk by courting many women.

"You calm down first. Dad's still strong to make a living."

"I've been sincere Well. Maybe I just need to see Lisa." How Bella wouldn't be upset if Lisa found out about her illness. It should be that Lisa can keep a secret or needs to lie to cover it all up.

"For what? I don't want you to get involved with them."

"I can't help myself Dad. Because that woman took Mama's life. At least I should curse him." Bella answered standing up.

"If his intentions are bad, God will definitely repay them."

"Hm is God's business. While I'm trying to do my job as a child." Mr. Bisri let out a long sigh while sipping tea in front of him." I'm gonna take a shower, Dad. Tomorrow morning I may come to my old workplace." Bella as she smiled.

"It's up to you, son." After hearing that answer. Bella walks into the bathroom to take a shower.

The old house is still very well maintained because all this time Mr. Bisri never forgot to clean. Lucky because apparently Mr. Bisri was used to doing homework including cooking.

There was a car parked in the front yard. Mr. Bisri immediately put down the cup and checked.

There are still guests. Who yes..

But when Nathan's figure came out of the car. Mr. Bisri frowned. He doesn't know that figure.

Probably one of my old friends' children.

"Siang Om's. Sorry to bother." Greet Nathan politely.

"Yes. What's up?" Mr. Bisri looked at Nathan from top to bottom. Looks handsome with his expensive suit.

"I'm Nathan. Bella's boyfriend." Sontak Pak Bisri put on a face of dislike. She really doesn't want Bella to quickly have a relationship with a man given the failure of her marriage.

"You better go home. Bella I'm not allowed to date." Reply Mr. Bisri ketus.

"I intend to marry her but she won't. Em I won't leave before I meet Bella Om."

Mr. Bisri spread his gaze around. He certainly did not want to show the debate to the right-left neighbor. With forced Mr. Bisri let Nathan in rather than having to argue in front of the house.

"My son is not a girl. Do you know that?" Nathan smiled wryly as he nodded.

I'm the one who ruined your son's marriage and it has to end the way it is now.

"I know Sir. Em Bella said to get to know each other so we committed to dating first."

During this time Nathan deliberately did not appear even though almost every day he came to just pass in front of the house. Nathan begins to feel longing but he is also unlikely to come when the Bella family is mourning.

"Why Bella didn't tell me. A moment." Mumbled Pak Bisri while standing up. He walked in to call Bella." Nak. There's a guest for you." He said while knocking.

There was an answer from inside so Mr. Bisri decided to wait at the door. Two minutes later, Bella came out with her wet hair.

"What's the matter, Dad?"

"There's guests. He claims to be your girlfriend." Bella smiled strangely.

"Who's his name?"

"Nathan. Is that true, son? I don't want you to choose just because he's handsome." Bella seemed to be shunned by her father's answer. But what if that's the reason why Bella gave Nathan a gap.

I think he's gone.

"I've refused but he's like that Dad." Answer Bella slowly.

"The neighbors here just don't know about your divorce. Tell him not to come often. It's in the village not in the complex."

Mr. Bisri himself never forced a will. He always respects Bella's choices including for marriage affairs. But what is damning is his fear of failure that may come back again. Mr. Bisri certainly does not want Bella back hurt and disappointed.

"Yes Well. Um I combed my hair first."

"Hm yes." Bella closed the door while Mr. Bisri walked out again, shaking his head. Tired of fear because he thinks the figure of Nathan is too perfect for Bella who tends to face mediocre.

I will complicate their relationship. I don't want my son to be hurt anymore.
